The following instructions are for Emotion SE packages.
If you use a tonearm and / or cartridge from different manufacturer please follow the instruction manual of the particular manufacturer.
3.1. Tonearm set – up
1.)
Take the into the hole of the tonearm base at the right upper corner of the tonearm tube is parallel to the side edge of the chassis turntable . Tighten the tonearm only slightly with the provided allen wrench and screws. Before you finish the tonearm-set up, please proceed with the cartridge set-up.
The correct height adjustment that is going to be used for the tonearm is depending on the cartridge you install.
2.)
For the next steps, please mount your cartridge on your tonearm (optional as a package: clearaudio Use the manufacturer’s instruction manual during this installation procedure and follow the appropriate instructions.
The headshell wires (cartridge connection leads) are colour coded according to the international standard :
Now adjust the tracking force of the cartridge. Please follow the instructions according the manual of the cartridge you use.
If you are using a clearaudio Moving Magnet cartridge you can adjust the tracking force or the wiring of the tonearm(about 20 mN) , by turning the tonearm`s counter weight on the threaded bolt (backside view of the tonearm).

3.)
For a more comfortable adjustment, please take the delivered “Smart Stylus gauge” (only in the Emotion SE package with tonearm and cartridge) and adjust the tracking force by using the gauge. Please place the Smart Stylus gauge on the platter and put the cartridge on the fine line which is marked with the recommend tracking force for your cartridge (e.g. clearaudio MM cartridge 20 mN (2,0 gram)).
This position of the diamond correlates to a tracking force of 20 mN (2,0g).
The tracking force is set, when the Smart Stylus gauge is parallel to the surface of the platter.
In this position the tracking force is to high.
If you would like even more professional set up tools, you can also use other tools like the clearaudio For more information on that, please contact your specialist dealer or directly clearaudio

4.)
For the next settings, place any LP on the platter and remove the stylus protector.
If you now lift down the cartridge to the middle of the turntable platter, you must see (from the side) that the lower edge of the tonearm tube is parallel to the surface of the record. You can use the tonearm tube as orientation.
If it is necessary you can adjust the height of the tonearm (VTA). For that you have to move the tonearm in the chassis’s hole in the right direction (up an down). Fix the tonearm in its correct position by locking the allen screw in the tonearm base.
5.) Azimuth adjustment
If you now lift down the cartridge again and take a look at the front side of the cartridge. You have to make sure that the upper edge of the cartridge is parallel to the record surface. This adjustment had been set up perfectly by clearaudio. Only if it is necessary, you can adjust the cartridge position, while carefully screw the small allen screw on the bottom side of the tonearm tube near the headshell (Caution: please don’t unscrew the allen screw
completely). Now you can twist the headshell with the mounted cartridge around his roll-
axis. To achieve the most precise adjustment you can use a set square. If you have found the right position you can carefully lock the small allen screw without changing the position defined before.
Don’t twist the headshell when the cartridge is lifted down and the diamond tip is on the record. It is necessary to lift the tip from the record, before you can check the position again.
6.)
For the final set-up of the tonearm, you need the cartridge alignment gauge which is included as well. Slide the gauge over the spindle of the turntable platter and turn the platter into the position as shown in the picture 9.

Page 12
Lift down the cartridge and place the diamond tip of the cartridge on the reference point on the alignment gauge and make sure that the edges of the tonearm tube and the cartridge are absolutely parallel to the marking lines printed on the cartridge alignment gauge.
For that adjustment it is necessary to take a look directly from the top on the tonearm and the alignment gauge.
If you have to change the position of the diamond tip you can unscrew the allen screw on the top of the tonearm`s headshell and move the cartridge into the corresponding position. Please make also sure that the leading edge of the cartridge is parallel to the marker lines of the cartridge alignment gauge. Fix the right position through looking the headshell screw on the top.
During final tonearm and cartridge installation, always take a look from the top onto the alignment gauge, to avoid any parallax errors.
The installation is done correctly, when at the same time the armtube is parallel to the marking lines on the gauge, the diamond tip is on the reference point
and the leading edge of the cartridge is parallel to the lines on the gauge. Finally lock all screws that had been involved during the adjustments. Now you are ready for the anti-skating adjustment. This also depends on the tracking force of the cartridge and the diamond shape.
After setting up the cartridge, please tighten the tonearm in it`s base to fix it in this position.

3.3 Setting-up of the motor
Take the motor-pulley out of the accessory bag and shift the motor pulley as far as on the motors shaft until you have a
1 mm
distance of approximately 1 mm between the upper edge of the motor and the lower edge of the pulley. Now tighten the three screws in the pulley one after the other with the precision screw driver.
Pic. 13: Mounting the pulle
Now place the motor unit into the stainless steel motor stand and fix the motor with the two screws on the side of the motor stand. Place the motor unit into the cut out on the left side of the turntable chassis and pay attention, that the switch of the motor faces outside.
Now you can connect the power cord to your power outlet.
Place one drive belt around the platter and around the pulley. The smaller diameter of the pulley is used for 33 1/3 rpm and the larger diameter for 45 rpm. The position „I” on the motor-switches the motor on.
Before first use, let the turntable run in for the first 15 to 30 minutes.
